1 Peter 2:11-25 – Every conversation we have is about influencing the other person, every thought whether spoken or not, is attempting to influence us and every desire of the body whether it be hunger, sleep or sexual is attempting to influence us. We are all about influence.
For anyone going through something and hearing that there is a sunny side to suffering is about as helpful as putting a screen door on a submarine, except when it isn’t.
Real power is not found in the control and rule of others, but in wilful submission to God. (John 19:1-16)
As we look at the final moments of Judas we come to observe that a transactional love is ultimately narcissistic and unable to satiate like a real love that comes from God.
Habakkuk 1:1-11
